Tuesday check in
1. No sugar
2. Weights
3. Cardio ✔ 30 min stationary bike
4. At least 15k steps per day ✔
5. Log my food ✔
Another day of just cruisin' by and doing the bare minimum. Today I'm aiming for 5 check marks.
I was just comparing my sleep stats on Fitbit with my food/exercise diary and noticed that my cruisin' days as well as my off the wagon days are consistently followed by a bad sleep. Even my blood sugar was higher when I didn't get enough sleep. I think I need to start getting to bed a little earlier and see what happens.
@Tracey0088 Week 3 is a big deal in developing habits. At the chocolate store where I work we joke about this trend. The first 2 weeks in Jan are always our slowest of the year with resolutions and people trying to shed holiday pounds. Week 3 our sales jump right back up to normal.
@vegan4lyfe2012 thanks for the heads up on the habit tracker. Don't know how I missed that. Must've been after one of my bad sleeps lol
@Bettyboag @anido @bakatit8gn19 @GretchenReine your attitudes and enthusiasm are contagious. Thanks for the inspiration.0 -
@Katmary71 I’m sorry you’re in pain from too much housework. I totally get it (see below). I hope you feel better soon.
@GretchenReine Congrats on your loss! Nice job!
I have had a good first half of my week. Healthy choices, whole foods, no candy, getting my fruits and veggies in and logging all my WW points. For lunch today I had a salad and two fresh ears of sweet corn from the farm down the road. I tore that up!
My stupid self decided to do yard work yesterday. I hadn’t been around the perimeter of the house since my surgery over 2 months ago. I was so angry to discover that my daughter had not been doing any trimming or weed whacking all that time. She barely even mowed. A freaking tree was growing up around the electrical box! I ended up spending way too much time outside on my foot (yes, I wore my boot). But I am definitely paying for it now.
We will be taking vacation this Saturday for 16 days. Booked ourselves at an extended stay suites hotel that has a kitchenette with a full size fridge, dishwasher and 2 burner stove. This way, we can continue with our healthy eating. I am so ready to get healthy again – physically and mentally.
Happy Hump Day, Everyone! Don’t forget to hydrate!4 -
@vegan4lyfe2012 Good for you for making so many great healthy choices, including for your upcoming vacation. Sorry that you had to do so much yard work. At least your daughter attempted to do something.
Take care of that foot of yours!
@Jactop I notice a correlation as well between how I sleep and how my next day goes with fitness and diet. Good job on getting in your cardio and steps!
@buniphuphu Tag @broncobuddee with the weight you want to start with and he can correct it for you.
@digger61 Nice job on meeting your goals!
@GretchenReine Yayyy for your loss this week! Keep it up!
@trooworld How are you doing being back at work? I bet you're tired.
@Bettyboag Yayyyy for achieving your goals for three straight days! Keep it up!
@Katmary71 Sorry that you had a rough night of pain. And that is good that your guy respects your dealbreakers.
Hi Team! I woke up with a headache this morning and felt off most of the day. I did do my workout but had to modify a lot because the intensity of week 7 Barre cardio was kicking my butt. I also managed to do most of the weightlifting portion for leg day. After that, I didn’t do too much except finish my latest jigsaw puzzle and binge listening to my fasting podcast. I fasted 21 hours and opened with a lemon Greek yogurt with pecans and a cup of coffee with heavy cream. After that, I felt much better and was able to do a little housework. Dinner was Subway and I did OK, except for the cookie I ate.
I don’t have a lot of hope for a loss this week but that is OK. I will just keep doing my thing.

Happy Hump Day! I see many of you are off to a good start.
@TeresaW1020 I love puzzles also and find the object games. What type of podcasts do you find interesting? Maggie Mae wants to take you for a walk. he he he. I could not, would not, embrace fasting for more than 12 hours. I would keel over and die, jump off my weightloss horse in a hurry. Different strokes for different folks. We all know what works for us. Unfortunately, what worked for me before, doesn't any more and had to try some new tricks. Started Calorie counting and walking in the fat burning zone. So far....pure awesomeness.
@GabiV125 What type of dog do you have? Mine is a beagle! My husband loves it when I go on a cleaning frenzy. I tell him not to get used to it - it's not my gig. Oh, I keep it clean and neat, but deep clean maybe once every two months (that's carpets, stoves, windows and actually picking up stuff to dust all of it. I do it for him because after 35 years of marriage, I still love that guy. While you said you didn't plan well with kids so far apart, @gretchenReine has kids 13 years apart!! The winner is @MommaGemz with a 7 & 8 year old! That's crazy. My daughter has irish twins. I remember when she came through the door a month after she delivered and with a flood of tears she fell in my arms and said "I'm pregnant". She was also in nursing school. The boys are 8 and 9 now, best buddies and she immediately went back and finished her nursing degree.
@MommaGemz Girl- let me tell you something...I ate for two when I was prego for all 3 of my pregnancies. I started at 156 pounds and after babies grew to 190 something pounds. Then, I ate what the kids didn't on their plate, stress ate, ate out alot and BOOM - 245 pounds. Gladly I can say I found my way back down and am now at 193.1 pounds. I totally get it. We are about the same weight. I have a stationary bike that gathers dust. I just can't seem to do it. I like to make tracks so I've been walking and some elliptical. You go Momma - get it!
@Cornanda You are correct "you can't outrun a fork". Hilarious. I've put that one in my quote book. With kids heading off to college, I hope they are able to attend in person instead of online. I hate that so many students are missing milestones like prom, graduation, first dorm room...etc. Being an empty nester, even temporarily is tough. I cried for a week when my youngest moved out. I danced the night away when my oldest moved out. lol 3 kids and not 2 the same.
@buniphuphu Man alive Marki! writing out your username is a killer. My fingers don't usually touchthe "u" key. I just realized it's pronounce "Bunny Foo Foo". I loved singing that one to the kids. You've had quite a time with that Feb cold virus. I bet Covid is scaring you. Mask up, stay home and be well. Glad you have your weight down. Swimming is great exercise. My idea of swimming is laying flat on my back on a raft. I have an inground pool so I can say I do some treading. Hurray for you being able to cut out Coke. Was the Coke or Diet Coke? The only diet soda I can stand is Fresca and Sprite Zero. They both have tons of great flavor and zero calories. I use it as a treat when I've been good. lol I actually fit in two jack in the box tacos one day and chips and salsa another day. I managed the calories to fit them in. I am a big believer that you need to enjoy what you are eating or you won't stick with it. There are all kinds of creative ways to fit something in you want. My youngest son, a police officer is getting married Friday. So I have been walking my tail end off between 11K-26K steps a day so that I can fully enjoy the rehearsal dinner at Spaghetti Factory and the wedding meal with cake!
@kingtika Well I am a first timer also. That is so much better than a "two timer". pun intended. Your young, while you are feeling that you are slowing down, you have 18 years on me to work on your activity level and your calorie intake. To be 39 again. sigh..... Keep at it dude. Race those kids, bench press them, play tag with them. I guarantee being an active father in your kids lives will wear you out and you will drop them pounds. Just padlock the snack cabinet and whala! I am excited to see you move those numbers down.
@GretchenReine The Virginian. I too have lost enough weight in my lifetime up and down that I'm dizzy. I have never counted calories, always done low carb. I am enjoying being accountable, besides I am obsessed with numbers and street names. Odd duck I am. I hope your Wednesday weigh in was a negative, meaning down. I really hope you feel positive. I think you are too hard on yourself. If I drank a gallon of water, I would need a urine catheter placed with a leg bag. No way hosea. I would float away. Hats off girlfriend.
@gwarnajtw91 Holy moly batman? Where did you come up with that user name and what does it mean to you. You are very tall. I stand at 5'4" on my tippietoes. My sisters are 5'9". They got the height and .....I got the boobs. They are both flat chested and we laugh together about the tipped scales. Good luck and power to ya girl, what a challenge the 757 deal. With intermittant fasting and CICO, how many calories are you shooting for a day? August 26th, here you come.
@Beka3695 Can't wait to learn more about you. I see you are posting winners. Please pull my name out of that hat at the end of August. I tip well. .
@vegan4lyfe2012 I tore my achilles tendon in 2011 and had the boot. It really slowed me down but I did think I burned more calories lugging it around. I had bilateral carpal tunnel to both my hands in May. The night before surgery, I fell into a bed of rocks directly on my shoulder. I've been seeing my chiropractor, resting it and icing it. It's August and it is just now feeling like it's close to a complete recovery. Murphy's Law and I are good friends. Lightning always strikes in the same place when I'm down. Boy, did I have a tough time transitioning into isolation and working from home. Took me 4 months to brush my teeth regularly and take my medication. I have read and re-read the Stand. That was Stephen Kings best book! I also serve at my church. Seems alot of people in this group are of faith. I hope you enjoy your extended vacation
@Jactop Stamp away girl. Stamp away. That's an awesome part time business. I hovered at 199 pounds F-O-R-E-V-E-R! I get it. Makes you want to pick up that scale and shake it while cussing it. How you doing on those 15K steps? That is a lofty goal.
Jugar Thank you for the link to week 1 Challenge. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10805773/team-on-my-shoulder-week-1-challenge-august-2020#latest
@leonadixon from Albuquerque NM. Geez all those "u" keys, tough one to spell. I see a chiropractor and swear by mine. I know some have been experiences and when you find a good one, it's golden. Your Psoriasis clear up is amazing. Staying away from sugar and dairy is hard. I guess if you can do that, you can do almost anything. Will look forward to hearing how you are doing.
@digger and @Anido, and @bakatit8gn and AustinRuadhain - Hello and go get 'em tigers. To the top with all of you. Hit them goals. You can do it, I know you can. Austin you may need to slow down a bit and reorganize your life and priorities. lol Seems you are burning that candle at both ends. That stress increases your cortisol level which loves to hold on to those juicy fat cells. In today's world we are all battling Cortisol.
Good night everyone. Persevere towards your goals. You are worth it!

This feels more like a pleasant chat than a challenge! I’m having so much fun!
This time around my approach is just that, to shush the negative talk in my head, to focus on things I like, spend more time outside even if it feels like a sauna sometimes, to listen more, to call the people I truly like.
Maybe the execution of said plan is not perfect: I drove the girls and myself to about 10 doctor appointments this week, that couldn’t happen this past moths. Nothing big, eye dr, dentist, etc.
I walked my 1yo Puggle 4-5 times a day, until he got so stinky he had to get a shower ( hates baths ).
I went to Costco 2 times in 10 days, and my bank account hiccuped.
Had to place a cap to no more than an hour of Domino per day, with my youngest.
Had so many work talks with my husband, I am very close to pass the journey man exam ( not really 🤣)

Wednesday Checkin August 5th,2020
The next two days could throw me off track. I am going to Hang on to the rails by a thread. My son is getting married Friday which means rehearsal dinner and wedding dinner. I’m not too worried about overdoing my calories but I know I Mar fail to check in. Hope I find some time. Ordered my dress online and happily it fits great. Saturday is my grandson’s birthday. I have a hard time passing up my favorite cake; Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake. So just a nibble. I’m relearning that I am not punishing myself by passing things up, but developing self discipline. I’ll add up all my net carbs tomorrow night to see what is over 3500 calories so I can see a 192 lb weigh in on Monday.

Wednesday check in
Today has been really good - day 3 of no alcohol in an effort to have more food because I have been keeping the calorie numbers as low as is reasonable. So cals are under, water is slightly over which is a trend improvement over the past several days. Steps are nearly 15,000 - this is actually a sweet spot for me and is a game changer for the weight loss. When I consistently get this many and take care to really put in an effort for speeding it up, it boosts the burn and I tend to lose weight more easily (as long as I don't eat the difference). The drawback is that it really takes two intentional walks and is a bit of a time suck so it's not always possible without going to extremes. Sleep.....eh, you see it's already past bedtime... => Hitting send and then hitting the pillow!!
@Tracey0088 you are doing so well, I love the stats you are keeping! Congrats and have fun at the wedding, please do check in if you get a spare moment... => So agree on the shift in perspective to bypassing treats. I remind myself that I always have a choice and while mostly I choose a path to my goals, I always have the choice to indulge if I want to. No deprivation, only choices. My Ma has a beagle and boy is tha girlie spoiled!
@GabiV125 great loss this week (WOOT!) and you made me grin! I have been known to think my ears might bleed if I hear more about work but I think mostly I want him to know I love talking to him so I just listen, too. I see the F2F as a challenge more with myself - my personal perspective. It's also a really neat way to be engaged with likeminded folks and yeah - we have a neat, conversational style that is easy on the eyes and brain at the end of the day. =>
@vegan4lyfe2012 enjoy the vacay!!! It's always so nice to get away, even when we can't get out as much as before - still a change of scenery sure is nice.
@TeresaW1020 oh, so sorry about a headache - makes the day justs crawl by! Hopefully you can get a great night's sleep and wake up refreshed and ready to take the worl on!
@Jactop you added a checkmark - I see progress!! Here's to having 4 tomorrow (and extra special WOOTs for **5**!!!)
@buniphuphu love the thought and wise words you shared with @Cornanda about seeing the success in the good choices made right after the less desireable choice - every next bite or meal is an opportunity to improve.
@GretchenReine WOW, super weigh in, congrats to YOU!!! =>
@trooworld and @Bettyboag you guys had really great days meeting goals and clicking things off, very nice!
@katmary71 hey, a guy who comes around with good recipes and can appreciate a girl's need to have her space and routine is pretty amazing to have come around for visits! Nothing at all wrong with stating what we need and then moving about doing what we need for ourselves. I have a motto about this, too (for like - everything) which is - 'what I do for me is not done against someone else.' I've been told my habits and needs are high maintenance but I think that's ok because I'm perfectly willing to do the maintenance for myself. I must point out - the current administration isn't the one who said it so....I kinda rest my case.3 -
Hey gang! Quick peek in! Gabi, we're happy to have you too!
Wednesday check-in
Calories- under
Exercise- arm cardio, abs, stretching for splits with resistance bands, Kundalini meditation, earth energy healing, 7 chakra meditation
Water- great
Cardio 30 minutes- done
Arms/abs- done
Yoga- done
Meditation- done
I really need to get some recipes going again, instead I'm pouting over what I can't eat and I'm craving chocolate really bad (women know why!)! Last night cravings were ridiculous, tonight I'm just craving sweetness so I'll have a frozen banana and mango for dessert.1 -
Wednesday check in: Not sure how often we are supposed to check in, but I figure every couple of days works for me.
Monday I hit 4 of my 5 habit goals. Did not hit my quiet reflection goal. I did not feel well at all. However, I did stay within my calorie goal of 1200 - 1300, I walked over 12,000 steps, drank over 120 ounces and stopped eating before 8 pm.
Tuesday was another story. I was feeling really bad and I decided I needed to take it easy and eat at mantenance. I only walked about 6000 steps, and ate about 1800 calories
Wednesday: I am working on hitting all 5 goals today, feeling much better.
I love reading everyone's updates, and I am looking forward to see how we do this week.2 -
It’s check in Wednesday!!! So happy I actually checked all 3 on my habit tracker - that’s a first🤣. I walked a little bit over 8k steps and I was determined to get to my daily calorie goal on my watch. After dinner I went another 20 minutes on the bike. Hoping to get to 10k at some point and go over 500 calories daily. Too bad strides on the bike don’t convert to steps☹️. Thanks to everyone for their stories and motivation❤️
Good night everyone and hope tomorrow’s just as productive as today😄.1 -
Happy Thursday y'all! It is Thursday, right? Please tell me it's Thursday! I need this week to be over! LOL
Yesterday after lunch I got sick to my stomach and started having bad cramps and all so I didn't make it to the gym. I was actually in bed trying to not throw up by 6pm I think. My 11 year old kept checking in on momma to make sure she felt ok. We ended up laying in bed and watching Rio. I'm actually anxious to get to the gym tonight. I would really like to be able to get a streak going. It's hard making myself go when I don't have someone to workout with. The ironic thing is...I love the alone time of the gym! LOL
Today's goal is tracking my food, getting to the gym for at least an hour on the treadmill (preferably 90 minutes), pool time with my mini me, hit my steps and mile goal for the day, no sodas, no sweets, and not get sick. PMS and food don't mix well for me lately. I guess this is an advanced age joy...I don't know.
I hope everyone has a great day!1 -
Tracey0088 congratulations on your son’s wedding!!!!
Enormous milestone for him and for you!
Please dance for all of us, cheering from the sides2 -
GabiV125 Nice loss this week! Keep up the great work!
@Tracey0088 Congrats on your son’s upcoming wedding! Birthdays and weddings are very special times so I encourage you to enjoy and not stress about the extra calories. Just make sure to dance your butt off at the reception! :grin I listen to Gin Stephen’s Intermittent Fasting Stories and The Intermittent Fasting podcast that Gin does with Melanie Avalon. Both are incredibly good! I hear you about not thinking you can do IF. I had heard about it a year or two before I ever seriously considered it. I never would have thought that I could give up breakfast and switching from sweet creamy coffee to just plain black coffee was a battle but now I love my black coffee and can’t even imagine eating breakfast. But you are right that we all have to find what works for us. For me, calorie counting simply didn’t work and was never something I felt I could do for life. Intermittent fasting isn’t a diet, it’s my lifestyle.
@Katmary71 Have you ever tried frozen grapes? Very tasty!!
@LynnJ9 You check in as often as you want to. I’m sorry that you weren’t feeling well but it looks like you still did really good with your goals.
@GabiV125 You are right that this group is more chat than challenge. There is always going to be a challenge you can do on the main page and we encourage that. But here in this group, I think our main challenge is sharing our lives and encouraging each other in their health journey. We are a community and I am so glad that you are having fun. And hey, good job on working on your man exam. That’s a toughie for sure! :grin
@anido1 Good job on sticking with your habit tracker!! Thanks for the reminder that I need to go check mine off.
@GretchenReine Yes girl it’s Thursday! So sorry that you got sick but glad you are feeling better.
Good morning! My staff meeting got pushed back an hour which gave me some time to come and check in on your all. I am so happy to see so many of your consistently posting. We are going to have a great month!
4 -
@Jactop That's an interesting correlation you noticed. And if you didn't track, you'd never have been able to look back to notice that!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on a good first half of your week! It sounds like you deserve a vacation. What a good idea to get a hotel with a kitchenette!
@TeresaW1020 I'm doing okay, thanks for asking! I'm actually feeling energized, being around some of my people (only 3 of us are back). I am a bit tired when I get home so it's good that I planned easy meals/pre-cooked some things because if I didn't, I'd be using Postmates for food delivery! I'm sorry for the headache, those are the worst. I hope you feel better soon. I haven't had Subway in a long time. Yum!
@GabiV125 I love puggles! I love pugs, too, I have a pug!
@Tracey0088 Congrats to your family on your son's wedding!
@raleighgirl09 Great step count! Thanks re: the great days...trying.
@GretchenReine Oh girl, I'm sorry you felt sick! I hope you are feeling better today.
Hello all. Yesterday was a good day for me. I started out with a nice walk with the dog. I had some emotional news but I did not eat over it, I stayed with my eating plan and ended the day at exactly the WW points that I was allotted for the day. I made a really good pork tenderloin in my air fryer which I will post in the RECIPES discussion board in case you are interested. The recipes board can be found here, by the way: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10803881/recipes

@GretchenReine - Wow! I am so sorry abotu your rough day yesterday. Your plan for today sounds great! Hope things are going well! 👐🏽
@anido1 - What a great day you had, wow! Thank you for motivating US! 🎉
@LynnJ9 - Hurray for your feeling better yesterday, after Tuesday was rough. It's so great that you kept track of your food on all the days, so when you ate more, you still kept things reasonable. Super smart! 👍🏽
@Katmary71 - Your checkins inspire me every time, especially your workouts! And yay you for finding a healthy, smart dessert choice! I love mangos, too. (I am shopping today and hope to get some!) ❤️
@raleighgirl09 - 👍🏽 SO glad you had such a great day! And that the no-alcohol practice is going well. It sure is a great way to decrease calories. Two walks a day -- impressive commitment and determination! Whatever works for you to get healthier!
👉🏾 I was on the phone last night with a friend who was wishing she had lost more weight so far this year. She has made some huge changes to her eating, but her alcohol consumption is up, and it's cancelling out her other work. She heard as she talked about it -- just like people talking here, online, getting stuff like that said can open up the space to make new choices. So, yay to all of us here for getting in communication about what we are up to!
@Tracey0088 - Oh, my, please set aside any feeling of failure if you don't check in these next couple of days during the wedding celebration. Enjoy the wedding and your grandson's birthday, make the best choices you can. Check in if it supports you and otherwise put us on the calendar for the day after, when you can hit a happy reset. Enjoy your sons wedding! Congratulations! 🎉
Just a quick callout to say -- what great thinking about all this! I hear you being so kind and encouraging to yourself! (I am a huge believer in our getting better by being happy with ourselves and kind to ourselves!)I have a hard time passing up my favorite cake; Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake. So just a nibble. I’m relearning that I am not punishing myself by passing things up, but developing self discipline
@GabiV125 - Aww, yay! Your checkin is so happy and sensible! Taking small steps, changing head as well as actions, being kind to yourself -- all brilliant choices! I hoe we can keep being a space to support that for you!
❤️This feels more like a pleasant chat than a challenge! I’m having so much fun!
This time around my approach is just that, to shush the negative talk in my head, to focus on things I like, spend more time outside even if it feels like a sauna sometimes, to listen more, to call the people I truly like.
Maybe the execution of said plan is not perfect...
@TeresaW1020 - I hope you are feeling better today! Sending hugs! 👐🏽👐🏽👐🏽
And as for the numbers this week -- you SO know the drill, fearless leader! I know you won't let yourself get stopped if it's not the number you want this week! Keep on doing!
@vegan4lyfe2012 - 🏆 WOW! I so love that you have arranged for a kitchenette ion your vacation so you can keep up with the healthy eating! SO smart! So inspiring!
@Jactop - Your looking at your sleep data has ME thinking, so thanks for sharing your analysis and thinking.
ANd a huge WOW 😮 to hearing this from the front lines of a chocolate store:Week 3 is a big deal in developing habits. At the chocolate store where I work we joke about this trend. The first 2 weeks in Jan are always our slowest of the year with resolutions and people trying to shed holiday pounds. Week 3 our sales jump right back up to normal.
@buniphuphu - It is so excellent to see you, too!

Yesterday I had plans with my friend to go for a walk. It’s a 20-25 min drive to her house and I worked from home , out at 3 , she’s having a big implementation at work so couldn’t get out until 5:45. I got there just as some black clouds were gathering. I’m just saying that either one of this would have stopped me before, but we walked for an hour with umbrellas on and off. And it did not feel like a chore, but like a reward!
I’m off now to have a talk with my cat who’s having her second hair ball this morning, and it’s not even 8 AM3 -

Hello all. Being back at work I've found drinking water a challenge because I'm required to wear a mask at all times and I just can't be bothered to take my mask off to drink my water lol. Next week my water intake will be better because I go to only being in the office one day a week. Last night I slipped up and we ordered takeout food.
At least it tasted good, usually it's a bust.
